Strengthen mining rights management, from the source control. In the ensuing years beginning in April 1999, the Ministry of Land and Resources successively issued a number of administrative documents to suspend the acceptance of tungsten, antimony and rare earth prospecting and mining rights, so far it has not let go. In 2009, the Group started to clean up the mining rights and concentrated the mining rights to large enterprises through resource integration. Currently, there are six major groups in the rare earth industry and 17 tungsten ore enterprises with over one thousand tons of production, effectively enhancing the technological level and market competitiveness of the industry. At the same time, the special rectification has cracked down on illegal mining activities such as undocumented and cross-border areas. By tightening the mining rights, effectively controlling the chaos of disorderly mining from the source, the mining order has been greatly improved.
The implementation of total control policies, control of mining and production. Since 2002, the Ministry of Land and Resources has successively controlled the total amount of mined tungsten, rare earth and antimony mines. Before the implementation of the policy, the production of rare earth mines continued to grow, with a growth rate of 14.1% during the period from 1990 to 2005. After the implementation of total control in 2006, it was transferred to the descending channel. Antimony mines From 1981 to 2007, the annual growth rate of antimony concentrates was 7.4%, dropping sharply after 2009. In 2010, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology started to implement the "mandatory production plan" management. In 2015, it was changed to the "total production control index" management, and controlled the total amount of processing enterprises.
Export quota management. Since 1998, the state has implemented an export quota system on some mineral products, stipulating that the annual export volume of an enterprise should not exceed the quota amount it owns. Export quotas for the source of regulation and control of mineral resources exploitation, regulate the export of minerals, to curb the low-cost sale of resources played a role. In 2014, China's decision to abolish the export quota system was replaced by an export filing system.
Promote resource integration and special rectification. The Ministry of Land and Natural Resources continuously strengthens and improves the exploration and exploitation management of the specific minerals for protective mining. In 2011, the state promulgated the "Opinions on Promoting the Healthy and Sustainable Development of Rare Earth Industries" and implemented a series of management systems including environmental protection accession, elimination of outdated production capacity, special VAT invoices for rare earths, etc., and conducted rare earth mining, production and environmental protection for several years in a row , Cracking down on special rectification actions such as smuggling so that illegal rare earths can be effectively checked. Through the integration of resources, the clean-up of mineral rights has been rectified and the production capacity has been concentrated in large-scale enterprises. The mining order has been greatly improved and the concentration of production capacity has been greatly enhanced.
